Sage, MB . . . selecting McDonald could leave us in a pickle . . .

Droll.

by tac Tue 19 May 2009, 13:23

And leave us playing ketch-up . ..

by skully Tue 19 May 2009, 13:29

Very droll.

It's not as if Punter can say "Open Sesame" and some magic door will open like two halves of a delicious bun and reveal the next Keith Miller . . .

Not while that imposter Mr Furlong struts around in an Australian Cricket uniform.

I'd be strutting if my primary task (between physio visits) was servicing Ms Furlong

by skully Tue 19 May 2009, 14:58

Of course, it is not his primary task, Mick. That would seem to be keeping a string of doctors and physios busy after yet another breakdown.

Please select McDonald. I could do with a Laugh.

by Henry Wed 20 May 2009, 02:04

The squad has been announced. Brett Lee is in! Huzzah! Very Happy

McDonald also! Very Happy

Full squad-

Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Stuart Clark, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, Phillip Hughes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Graham Manou, Andrew McDonald, Marcus North, Peter Siddle, Shane Watson.

Well, that about wraps it up for Symonds, as far as Test cricket is concerned, surely.

Twatson is subject to fitness ...so Roy will get a call up when his back/hammy/groin/shoulder/fingernail breaks

Manou FFS.

Yet another totally inapporpriate selection from the clueless NSP. He is barely going to play, he is 30yo, so why not give Wade or Hartley (who are actually candidates for future test spots) a taste of the big time.

MacDonald, though carp, at least is an incumbent.

There's not much batting cover though.

by Henry Wed 20 May 2009, 02:35

McDonald- Batting average 21.4, bowling average 33.3

Watson- Batting average 19.7, bowling average 35.5

Sobers, Botham, Imran, Kapil Dev they aint. Australia seem obsessed with picking an all rounder for the sake of it. A bit like England in the 90's as they tried to search for a Botham replacement.

Maybe the Manour selection is a message to Wade/Hartley/Ronchi etc that they need to perform at State level and actually earn a spot

McDonald is only an incumbent because of injury ...and Clark and Lee have returned so they can farque him off ...He is a poor man's Watson (which makes him really shit)

The batting cover is being paid to play by the Pommy counties ...Rogers Voges Dussey(?) Taypodge(?) Hattie(?) ...

You realize you are actually agreeing with all Ozzies except the NSP ...

Fit-again Watson an 'Ashes must'

But Rixon said Watson should be considered a safer bet between the two all-rounders now that he is over his recent fitness problems.

WTF?

by Zat Wed 20 May 2009, 03:08

It's Watson's one area of consistency. He is always over his recent fitness problem. Just in time for another issue to flare up.

by Henry Wed 20 May 2009, 03:13

Why doesn't the idiot just give up bowling?
